I have split my deployment script in multiple scripts. So, deployed contracts are decoupled and can be combined depending on the target environment. For the hardhat environment, I am trying to run 2 scripts, one after other. Something as:

yarn hardhat run ./scripts/deploy-tokens1.ts
yarn hardhat run ./scripts/deploy-tokens2.ts

Each of these scripts deploys some contracts from the same owner address, something as:

const TokenA = await ethers.getContractFactory("FOO");
const tokenA = await TokenA.deploy("FOO", "FOO");
await tokenA.deployed();

If I run this code within the deploy-tokens1.ts script (the one that created the contract)

const tokenA = await ethers.getContractAt('FOO', 'the_address');
console.log(tokenA.runMethod());

it works and returns [] as expected.

If I run the same code within deploy-tokens2.ts script it fails with:

So, somehow both scripts do not have the same context.

Do you know how to run 2+ scripts on hardhat?
